The Buxatrap needs to be used in combination with Pherodis pheromone dispensers. The dispensers release a species-specific sex pheromone which lures the males of the box tree moth into the trap. Once in the trap they cannot escape and are easy to detect, count and identify. Trapping males also aids in reducing the number of eggs laid by females as they fail to mate.
One trap with hanging string.
1 trap per 30-180 m2.
Use Buxatraps when moths are active: From May/June until the end of November (depending on geographic location).
Use in combination with Pherodis Cydalima perspectalis.
Store out of sunlight.
